Bellator 43

[Mr. IWS]

Thoughs on Heiron/Hawn? I kinda like Heiron here.

[poopoo333]

I haven't looked at it yet but I am guessing Hieron will want to just strike with Hawn and avoid getting into the situations Good did.

Well IWS, whatever we do, we have to all win on this card to keep the IWS perfect Bellator streak going.

I think both guys will have trouble getting the other one down consistently. It will be another close fight IMO probably decided by strikes and one or two takedowns, just like the Good fight. There is really no clear path to victory for either man IMO...

What the fuck's taking so long on these lines?

Hawn has the power advantage but Hieron might have the reach advantage. According to wiki Hieron is 6' and Hawk is 5'9''. I don't know if that translates to a reach advantage though. Is it a title fight or 3 rounder?

[poopoo333]

3 rounds

[poopoo333]

I really hope they post lines up for this shit

Damn, that sucks.

[MMA_scientist]

Bellator is slacking. They just don't have enough fighters that are draws. They have a roster of about 8 guys that anyone cares about... I fully support Bellator because I think the tournament format is a more pure gauge of ability and I like giving guys a shot to make their own destiny... but they need to pick up a couple more fighters in the heavier weight classes (over WW)

[MMA_scientist]

Hawn, Riggs, and Vega all have value IMO.

I don't know Blake... I am going to have to look at that one.

[poopoo333]

I just looked him up real quick and noticed he hasn't fought since 2009

[Mr. IWS]

1/32 of a unit on Blake

[MMA_scientist]

It looks like a gimme fight for Province. I watched a couple vids and read about Blake where he trains. He looks like mostly a bjj guy... Province is a wrestler and he beat world bjj champion Paxiao (he was on roids so it got overturned)... he lost to Nunes and MTB- but those are top of the world level guys.

yay or nay?

[MMA_scientist]

^ probably... but I am still looking at the other fights. I think I might put something on Riggs and/or Hawn... I don't know what I am going to do.

Anyone else look at Beebe/Vega?

[MMA_scientist]

Thinking about a WEC parlay on Beebe/Province... and then a bet on either Hawn or Riggs.

Input. I need some.

[poopoo333]

I bet Vega @+300. I think it will be a close fight. Beebe is overrated. Since 2008 he has lost to all significant fighters and beat the "cans".

[MMA_scientist]

Yeah, I think Vega will give him a fight as well... just reaching. I think yes on Province. Blake has some My Thai fights I found as well though, but he got whupped pretty bad in 30 seconds in the one I found (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgIssNbFTHM). But Province is going to put him on his back so it is not going to matter.
